Yeah seriously. Try and find a Windows laptop with no front-facing camera nowadays; they don't exist. Maybe some OEM white-box bargain bin hardware. Even System76, the ultra-privacy respecting Linux laptop vendor, sells precisely zero laptops w/o front-facing cameras. Even the argument for consistency is tenuous; its already consistent.

Its just better that its there, and operating systems can be more sophisticated knowing that you've got it.
